"Fifty gold coins! That much!" Freeman sprang to his feet, his hands and feet trembling with excitement.
Although he had guessed that winning would earn him a decent reward, he had never imagined he would receive as much as fifty gold coins all at once!
For a poor family like his, those fifty gold coins meant he could immediately escape his current desperate circumstances.
Not only could he repair the roof of his house, which already leaked in several places, but he could replace all their furniture, buy his wife a couple of new dresses, and get the children some of the toys they had dreamed of having for so long...

"No, no, no, of course not! Of course not!" Freeman waved
